I'm Bill, new to the site. I have an off set Brinkman Smoker. I am usually making (curing, seasoning, and smoking) my own bacon. Usually about 30lb a week. My smoker is only big enough for one belly at a time, and at 3 hours of smoking a piece, ( I do 3 bellies on smoking days)  my Thursdays are spent in the back yard for 9 hours. I am in the market for an old commercial freezer, (stainless inside ) to convert into a smoker, so I can do all 3 or more at the same time. I use Kingsford charcoal & sometimes lump charcoal, along with apple and cherry wood. I'm in Iowa, hog capital of the world, so makin' bacon is a natural...LOL ....
 
Welcome to the board! What do you do with all that bacon?

I have an offset, too, but I haven't done bacon yet. Does it drip much?
 
Hello and welcome to the forum, from East Texas, Great place to learn and share, and a bunch of good people.

I sell the bacon. Usually ALL GONE within 20 min to an hour... Drive time takes a lot of time. If I didn't have to drive, I'd be done in 15 to 20 min.
